  摘要：An international sample of 349 British-owned firms is analyzed to test the effectiveness of the International Tea Agreements of 1930 and 1933, Although the agreements reduced output overall, in 1930 there were significant regional differences in the extent of compliance, with firms in Eastern India reducing output more than did firms in Ceylon, These differences can be attributed to regional differences in organizational structure. Archival evidence suggests that the breakdown of collusion in ...

• Enforcing property rights through reputation: Mexico's early industrialization, 1878-1913 AI翻译

• Tariffs, strategy, and structure: Competition and collusion in the Ontario petroleum industry, 1870-1880 AI翻译
  作者：University of Winnipeg
  摘要：The 1858 discovery of crude oil in Ontario led to the development of a refining industry initially composed of many small firms. Ontario's refiners relied upon generous tariff protection in order to compete with cheaper, higher-quality imports. We apply a regime-switching model to the pattern of monthly wholesale prices to find the extent to which trade policy affected collusive efforts. Tariff protection encouraged collusion, but ease of entry resulted in frequent price wars. An 1877 downward...
